Developing Evidence-based Climate Action Programming
Élaboration de programmes d’action climatique fondés sur des données probantes

Panel Organized by: Let's Talk Science

The complexity of developing and scaling meaningful climate education and action-oriented programs for diverse audiences during an era of misinformation, disinformation and skepticism cannot be overstated. This panel will share insights from projects that educate youth, educators and the public about climate change. The interactive session will showcase: international research about climate change education; Canadian research conducted by high school students about desired programming features; school projects; and national public communication efforts by researchers. Audience participation in this session will contribute to defining essential elements and shaping next steps to catalyze and support climate action.
